Like the famous men in their lives—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—these five women from Genesis often stubbed their toes along the rocky path of righteousness, They were far from evil, but hardly perfect; mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these ancient sisters look a lot like us.

More than one million readers around the world have taken a walk on the wild side with best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs, as she has brought to vivid life the ancient stories to two-dozen Bad Girls of the Bible, from Eve to Mary Magdalene. Her unique brand of “ girlfriend theology” is upbeat and encouraging, laced with humor and heartfelt self-disclosure, yet built on a foundation of solid research, including 14 translations of the Scriptures and more than 100 resource books and commentaries.

In Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible- designed for both individual reading and group use- Liz once again combines contemporary fiction and verse-by-verse commentary in her novel approach to Bible study, offering eye-opening lessons for women who long to know, “ Does God love me, flaws and all?”
